Computer assisted method of partitioning an electrical circuit

摘要

A partition of an electrical circuit is formed in that the electrical circuit is mapped on a graph (102), and the nodes and/or edges of the graph are assigned weight values (103). The weight values describe a required computing outlay for the calculation of electrical descriptive parameters for the respective elements of the electrical circuit that is represented to the nodes and/or by the edges. A placement method is then applied to the elements of the electrical circuit (104). Next, a measure is calculated of a number, which arises on the basis of a partitioning, of cut edges and/or margin nodes for elements of the electrical circuit (105). The elements are grouped in partitions depending on the previously calculated measure (106).
